Roasted Carnival Squash (And Seeds!)

I love fall. The colors, the smells, the holidays, ahh everything. And in the kitchen, it is squash time. Spaghetti is my all time favorite with acorn in close second. However, I have a new contender in play. At Wegmans the other day I just could not walk past the beautiful display of carnival squash. So I grabbed one. And I am very happy I did. A little sweeter than regular acorn (they look rather similar) and a little stringer like spaghetti, it is like a combination of wonderfullness in my tummy.

Roasted Carnival Squash (And Seeds!)

The Food

- A carnival squash (or acorn squash works perfectly this same way)

- Olive oil or melted butter

- Seasonings of your choice (I used Mrs Dash, Original for the squash, and Jane's Crazy Mixed Up Salt for the seeds)

The Prep

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees

Cut the squash into wedges (I usually go for 8, but you can go more or less depending on size and preference)
